Today, was pretty uneventful, but several traders refused my orders to stop and I warned them and placed a Fine on their heads.
Myriada is the one.
As well, a Wraith Raider known as Fury attacked me today and I managed to fend him of using a good tactic that I can share with you all later. He eventually ran, but Erich_Hartmann was killed.
Speaking of Which, I have asked Erich_Hartmann to join the RM, he is await an NCC and has PM'd Chancellor Reinhardt, Bless his holy name, to confirm his joining. He has a ship and everything, just needs the Tag. Erich, if you read this, i got your NCC back from the Wraith.
Transmission to: Commander Axel Topf
Comm. ID: Chancellor Niklaus Reinhardt
I have heard about this Erich_Hartmann from the captain of the gunboat Wasser. He seems to be an excellent candidate. Perhaps I will consider supplying his bomber with a Nova-class Torpedo Launchers from my own personal coffers.
However, I have not yet received confirmation of his wish to join our glorious force. You may wish to ask about that.
I have received his message, now. Most likely a delay in the delivery system. It also seems he has a pair of Novas on his own. He seems very competent. I have accepted his recruitment.
Thank you for obliging my request to join Rheinland Military. I will not let you down. On a side note, I searched for our force's ranking system, but was unable to ascertain any information.
Reguarding the NCC, I bought a new one in case it was processed before I could retrieve it from you. If you like, you may either sell it and recompensate or hold onto it until our next concursion. There is no need for haste, as I am not in dire need of credits at the moment. Perhaps the credits should be allocated to Rheinland's reserves instead?
I have read that transmission several times before (as required by the recruitment office) and, forgive my ignorance, my misunderstanding was in whether new recruits were immediately promoted to Lieutenants or if there were a trial and/or training period. I should have better articulated my confusion. I do not mean to waste your time, sir, as I know it is invaluable.
This is Commander Axel Topf! Today, we encountered several traders, and they were all scanned and cleared. One admitted he was transporting guns to an outcast base and he has been given a warning. We will wait and see if he brings cardamine back, and if then he will die.
On orders from Admiral Hiltraud, the Trader 'Apoc' is now 'Kill on Sight', due to: Smuggling, Issuing false alarms and distractions to RM Officers.
Axel Topf Sign off!
Axel's Quote "No rest for the Wicked"
Today on patrol I scanned quite a few traders, but nothing out of the ordinary. However there was a member from Southern Alliance who requested safe passage through Rheinland territory on an "exploration mission". As we are not hostile, I allowed him to pass through although I remained suspicious enough to follow his vector continually scanning his cargo after each mooring just to be sure. He did nothing illegal, but I was still troubled. I seek your council. Has paranoia gotten the better of me, or does this seem out of place?
